Snow now looks to be on the horizon and a leading weather forecaster has pinpointed one day in particular when it could cover Britain.
The Met Office has said "significant snowfall" is a possibility next week, and earlier this week advanced weather modelling maps (here) indicated a blizzard is on the way.
Exacta Weather forecaster James Madden is in agreement and said next week could bring "some ample snow for lower regions" based on current projections. "Next week will therefore bring a heightened risk for some prominent and notable snow showers across the country as the cold weather continues," he said.

Madden reckons the chances are "ever increasing" for what could be "the first widespread snow showers of the season" – meaning millions of Brits could soon see some of the white stuff. "These [snow showers] are likely to be more prominent from the middle to end part of next week onwards, and literally anywhere could see at least some kind of snow or transient snow falling within this period, and from parts of the far north to parts of the far south."
Madden's projections "strongly highlighted upon the dates of in and around December 5" for what he has described as "more notable and widespread snow events".

The Met Office reckons we are facing two possible weather scenarios next week – one being "significant snowfall". Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Harris said the "most likely" outcome is that we'll see a band of rain moving across the country from the west to the east.
However, another possible scenario is for a "more active weather system" to arrive from the southwest. If this weather system is to arrive, Harris said we can expect "more widespread rain, stronger winds, and the potential for more significant snowfall should the air over the UK become sufficiently cold ahead of it".
